Nuclear Bunker & Indoor Pool @ The Stag and Huntsman?

The hole in what was the garden of The Stag and Huntsman is sparking a lot of debate by all accounts. According to one of the hard working builders (on-site on a Saturday), rumours abound as to the purpose of the near 20 foot deep excavation. Nucelar bunker for the village? Fitness pool for the farm boys?  Both have been put forward as suggestions.

While both have their benefits, the answer is perhaps unsurprising. The new cellar, for that is what it will be (no s**t Sherlock) will contain a plant room and a bank full of fridges and freezers for what we presume will be the new gastro element of the pub.

What is certain is that the builders are getting a move on. Work seems to be taking place seven days a week which suggest The Culden Faw Estate wants to meet the six month build window they have been talking about. And rather encouragingly, word from the builders suggests that the character of The Stag and Huntsman is going to be retained. But judging by the work going on, we'll see some dramatic changes over the next few weeks running toward Christmas.
